My daughter, Florence, is acting in this production of Alan Ayckbourn’s ‘Round and round the garden’, so when the director was discussing publicity, guess who piped up with ‘My mother is a graphic designer…’ Anyway if you’re in Edinburgh between the 24th and the 29th of August I recommend you see it.

These lovely Red Riding Hood tulips were a birthday present. I’ve drawn them with a dip pen and watercolour to make a picture for a birthday card and now that the petals have fallen off I’m going to plant the bulbs to enjoy them in the garden next year.

Jeni Barnett's exchange with an MD caller to her LBC phone-in programme.
I also had a nudge to participate as it's been so long. I was going to use my lovely dip pen to draw an 'UP' drawing but I got derailed by fury at this ignorant woman broadcaster encouraging parents not to vaccinate their children. For the back story visit my blog. I don't generally produce caricatures and so I couldn’t think of the convention for drawing a speech bubble coming out of a phone. If anyone can point me in the right direction for finding out these conventions I'd appreciate it.
